Episode XIV: Getting Closer!

Hello there,

So, I got this fancy new website up and running, and then I got too busy to update it. And by busy, I mean to say that I got my Astro Boy DVD set in the mail and can't stop watching it. I can't help it.
Of course, we've been busy for real lately. There's a whole bunch of new stuff going on. Exciting stuff!

For instance, we soldered the connectors to the control wires for our antenna's rotor. After all that was said and done, we were able to control the movement of our antenna from inside room N214. Here's a few pictures of us working on that.

Today, Mr. Rector, Paul, and I went out to Radioworld and purchased a transceiver. After much research, we decided to go with the ICOM Ic-V8000. For the cost, it has exactly what we need. On Friday, we're going to be integrating it into our setup, and doing all the necessary testing.

I also got an email from Jeff Wimbush from The Humber Daily Planet. He just finished editing a video interview that we did with him, and he has posted the complete story, along with the video. Go read the story! Now!

Episode XV: A New Home

Hello there, my friends, and welcome to our new website! The blog at LiveJournal was okay, but it didn't offer me the kind of flexibility that I want. There's a lot of big things to come for this site in the next few months. My little sister Melissa came up to me and asked if she could design the layout of the site, and I was more than happy to pass it off to her. All the writing and stuff, that's still mine. But the overall design is hers. It's pretty nice, eh?

So, being that this is a brand new site, there are probably a few little kinks that need to be worked out. Maybe there's some links that don't go anywhere, or there's missing pictures? If you find anything like that, email me and let me know.

First of all, go and check the Links section out. There's a lot of pretty awesome Humber and NASA websites there. Humber College has a lot of really awesome reporters and journalists working for the various media outlets, so I strongly suggest checking them out. Both the Humber Daily Planetand Humber Life have released articles regarding our project so far, and as soon as I get permission from the appropriate people, I will either link to them or re-post them here. Honestly, though, check out some of the other stuff in our Links section. You won't be disappointed!

Second, there's still a little more work to do. The Bio section, for instance, isn't up yet.

Last, on a more personal note, I would like to dedicate this website to the memory of my grandfather, who passed away in March after a long battle with cancer. I always wanted him to be proud of me, and this project will be my way of paying tribute to him. Ti amo, Nonno.
